Bullying and school violence are the subjects of the video “No Love”, Eminem’s Recovery collaboration with Lil Wayne. The song samples Haddaway’s dancetastic 1993 club jam, “What Is Love”, and somehow manages to turn it into a melancholy query. A Night At The Roxbury this is not—more like a Schoolday In Hell. Show the two…

“I don’t listen to the rumors, I just shut ‘em up,” Ciara defiantly declares on her latest clubber, “Shut ‘Em Up.” The Infinity-produced track comes off of the R&B doll’s upcoming Basic Instinct (which Amazon lists as being released on December 14), and though she may live and work in Hollywood, she doesn’t have to…

For a song titled “U Smile”, Justin Bieber looks fairly morose in the track’s video. Maybe he’s still in character from his CSI episode? Perhaps he was just unimpressed with his likeness for the Bieber line of dolls? Or there’s a good chance he finally got around to watching the remix of his bottle-induced head…

Last night, Selena Gomez attended the launch party for Cheryl Cole’s de Grisogono jewelry line “Promise”. Stepping out on a drizzly night in London for the event, the “A Year Without Rain” singer wore a smart black and gold ensemble complete with a pair fierce bedazzled pants. Since the Disney star has cited Cheryl as…

At the Beats By Dre showcase in Times Square, newly permed Keri Hilson performed the second single off her sophomore album, No Boys Allowed, the saucy R&B number “Pretty Girl Rock”. Miss Keri Baby was a little out of breath singing and dancing around the stage, but she looked gorgeous, and the song’s not too…

Teen brother trio (this concept sounds familiar) Burnham have been traveling around as the opening act for Justin Bieber, and found time yesterday to swing by the On-Air With Ryan Seacrest studio for a chat. The guys—Forrest, Andre and Alex—bumped into Bruno Mars, then sat the current chart-topping crooner down so they could impress him…

The new trailer for Burlesque has pretty much all the camp and cliches from the first trailer, but this time we get more fabulous costumes, a little taste of Cher giving it a go on stage, and Christina Aguilera getting all romantic-comedy with her co-star. Oh, and let’s not forget the glitter cannon—no guilty pleasure…

“Bruno is a star,” says Ethan Lader, the director behind Bruno Mars’ video for his sweet love song, “Just The Way You Are“. “The charisma that he has, you can’t teach.” Hey, he’s not kidding—the singer even manages to be suave in his mugshot, which is no small feat! Get an extra dose of Mars’…

Following her appearance on Blue Peter earlier this week, Selena Gomez kept on the UK promo trail by hitting up Live From Studio Five yesterday. Here in the States, A Year Without Raindebuted at #4 this week on the Billboard Top 200 album chart. But the Brits are just now getting “Round And Round”…

Pop singers tend to be busy people. But that’s no reason for them to lose out on the chance to meet new friends who share common interests — even if those friends are also busy pop singers. Which is why we recently took it upon ourselves to introduce two amazing artists who didn’t know each…

Our positive response to Kanye West’s Bon Iver-sampling “Lost In The World” apparently wasn’t enough to keep the rapper from getting angry about somebody leaking his song online before it was finished. “Due to blogs leaking unfinished songs from my actual album I’ve decided to pass of Good Fridays this week,” a grumpy West tweeted…

“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” activist Lady Gaga sported a wig similar to her Washington D.C. rally for her intimate performance the Plaza Hotel’s Oak Room bar last night, but that’s not the only hair she was wearing! For the affair, Gaga traded in her meat dress for one made entirely of hair (unlike the meat,…

In what has to be the most surprising bit of casting in a music video this year, Sky Ferreira’s object of desire in her “Obsession” video turns out to be 53-year-old Thelma & Louise and Reservoir Dogs baddie Michael Madsen. As noted before, the actor reprises his sadistic Dogs character Vic Vega (aka “Mr. Blonde”)…

The music video for Eminem’s third Recovery single “No Love”—a song that features Lil Wayne and samples Haddaway’s 1993 Eurodance jam “What Is Love”—premieres tomorrow night at 8 p.m. EST. Em offered up a 30-second tease of the clip on his YouTube channel today. And surprise, surprise—it’s set to be another dramatic affair, akin to…

To promote his Facebook flick The Social Network (opening tomorrow), a flannel-wearing Justin Timberlake appears on two different covers of this week’s Entertainment Weekly. The mag asks JT some pretty pointed questions about the fact that it’s been, oh, four whole years since his last album. Oh, well—at he tuned out a highly entertainment medley…

We’ve seen some energetic performances on late night TV—David Guetta and Kelly Rowland’s appearance on Lopez Tonight earlier this year being one of them. But Far East Movement turned George Lopez’s set into a slamming peak-hour event last night when they busted out their electronic jam “Like A G6.” Not bad for their live TV…

:: When pics surfaced of Mariah Carey being escorted through LAX in a wheelchair, we got worried. But her rep cleared everything up: “Mariah twisted her ankle in Singapore and should have packed more sensible shoes, but she doesn’t have any. I’m sending her a pair of flats today.” Thi…

Ooh la la. Speak Now songstress Taylor Swift was dressed to the nines for the Roberto Cavalli Party—part of Paris’ Fashion Week. The 21 Under 21 singer wore a form-fitting black dress as she posed on the “gold” carpet for the photogs. Check out the beautiful and talented “Innocent” performer from the French soiree.
